Regarding the 8-year-old boy in the Mercedes ad: Did your family never get a new car when you were a kid? At our house, everybody was excited when Mom and Dad brought home a new car. It was a family car, therefore a family event. The 8-year-old in the ad isn’t intended to drive the car himself (for at least eight years), but instead is hoping for the excitement that Mom and Dad’s new car would bring. If that happened, he would get to ride in a Mercedes!

HEY!! Old man Hughes, do you want me to get off your lawn too? You can rest assured that I will not ask anyone in your house to change the clock to play Christmas music at the top of each hour…this year anyway.
